can I go a bit off-topic here?
I currently have tix for 2 to EZE from 2/5/06-2/19/06. Our plan is to see Buenos Aires for a few days, then do some hiking, backpacking, and traveling for the next 10 days. I understand that early Feb will be quite warm in BsAs, but am afraid that if we go into March it will be too cold/possible snow in Patagonia or the Lake District or the Northern Andes. Since Argentina is big and 'latitudinally diverse' perhaps it is not possible to pick just one good season; we can handle a few days of heat, but want the hiking etc to be done in good alpine conditions - low chance of snow, days sunny but not too hot. My guidebooks are all too vague to give me a more precise idea, so I appreciate any help you can give me. Muchos gracias.
